Comments:

Improved over my last 5K time of 25:25. Used a different strategy and tried to keep a steady pace with a good kick at the end. I dont feel like I started my kick soon enough and probably could have finished under my goal of 25:00. Overall I was happy with the results. Had some knee pain after the race but it was gone by Monday morn. I think it was from running Friday night before race.
What would you do differently?:

Try to run a little quicker pace and start my kick a little sooner. My next 5K WILL BE UNDER 25:00.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked back to watch the rest of the team finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

No excuses today. Ran well but I know I could have run a faster pace with a longer kick at the end.

Event comments:

Good food and the end and plenty of door prizes for participants.
